After sending Zhang Bojiang away, Li Jinzhong and his two men returned to the hall.
Sitting on the chairs, both of them were silent.
After a while, I heard Li Jinzhong say in a bad tone: "He really thinks of himself as an emperor. Now we don't know who will win!"
"If the crackdown is not effective, he will ask us for questioning. He is really crazy!"
Hearing Li Jinzhong cursing, Wang Baozhen did not intervene.
When he rebelled against the imperial court, he was actually coerced into participating by Li Jinzhong.
Now it was easy for King Yong to show his kindness and be willing to forgive their crimes. In his opinion, he should seize this opportunity.
As for whether King Yong could become emperor, Wang Baozhen felt there was nothing to doubt.
"I haven't had a good night's sleep these days of fighting with the imperial court!"
At this point, Wang Baozhen glanced at Li Jinzhong and said: "I would say, take this opportunity to get our innocence, so that the whole family can have a good death!"
Since ancient times, if rebel ministers fail to succeed, they will basically end up exterminated.
They were forced to rebel against the imperial court, but they also knew in their hearts that it was basically impossible to overthrow the imperial court.
So what Wang Bao really meant was that since King Yong extended an olive branch, the two of them could accept it as soon as they got along.
But now Li Jinzhong is angry, so he can listen to Wang Baozhen's words.
"It is said that when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured, but there is another result!"
"What's the result?" Wang Baozhen asked.
Li Jinzhong said: "Both sides suffer!"
Then Li Jinzhong said: "I understand what you mean, but don't forget, we have 60,000 troops in our hands. Even if we cannot dominate the world, it is still easy to hold a corner of the southwest!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Baozhen looked dissatisfied and said, "You still don't want to stop?"
He didn't want to play anyway, after all, his ambition was not that big.
Li Jinzhong explained: "What I mean is that King Yong and the court have not yet announced the results, so we don't have to bet in a hurry!"
On the other side, Zhang Bojiang left Rongcheng, but did not return north to resume his life.
"Everyone, the first errand is done, we have to continue heading south!"
Zhang Bojiang said in a deep voice: "Your Highness wants me to visit the five counties in the south, and then I will have to work hard for you!"
The five southern counties have a tendency to split, and Zhao Yanxun already knows this.
In this case, the five southern counties can be fought for, so that the imperial court can be wiped out.
Of course, Zhao Yanxun has the power to overcome everything. He does these things only to reduce the adverse consequences of Jingnan, and it is not necessary.
No matter whether Nanfang County "abandoned the secrets and turned to the light", Wu would not affect the outcome of the peace crisis. It would just mean that he would have to spend more effort later to deal with some people who were ignorant of current affairs.
…………
Northwest, Longyou County, Yuanyang Prefecture.
In the Privy Council of Prince Yong's Mansion, the two privy envoys who received the battle report had uncontrollable shock on their faces at this moment.
"Those barbarians didn't die, and they dared to attack Tianyuguan!" Chen Anming's tone was sullen.
Although he was also surprised, Guan Hetai remained calm and said: "The land outside Guan is vast and sparsely populated. Even if there are monsters causing trouble, I am afraid it will not cause a big wave. On the contrary, these barbarians are allowed to survive!"
"That's the truth!" Chen Anming nodded.
Guan Hetai continued: "Let alone outside the pass, the population in Tianshan County is denser than on the grassland, and the number of monsters is only close to the city. Let the Beidi Dusi advance smoothly!"
Chen Anming couldn't help complaining: "The east and west fronts are advancing smoothly. This is a great thing, but who would have thought that something like this happened!"
Guan Hetai picked up the tea cup and said: "Fortunately, Commander Wu Dingwei responded properly and did not lose Tianyu Pass. Otherwise, we would all dismiss our posts and apologize!"
Nodding, Chen Anming said: "This Wu Dingwei commander Meng Hai is the person that the prince likes, and now he seems to be quite capable!"
"Let's stop talking nonsense and let's discuss how to deal with this matter!"
"We need to add more troops to garrison. Wu Dingwei suffered a lot of losses this time. If the Hu people try to knock the pass again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it!"
"The question is...where to mobilize the troops?" Guan Hetai asked.
Chen Anming replied: "Most of the soldiers from the four nearby guards, Pingshan Guard, Bei'an Guard, and Longfeng Guard, have been transferred to Tianshan County by Luo Lun. If we want to hurry up, we can only transfer people from Tianjin Guard!"
As a privy envoy, Chen Anming was naturally familiar with the military mobilization of the three northwest counties.
Guan Hetai nodded and said: "Deploy troops from Longyou to Beidi. Your Highness must make a decision on this matter!"
Chen Anming said: "Then let's send a summons to His Highness!"
While the call was being made to Zhao Yanxun here, in the Yongfu Palace, the Forbidden Palace of the Royal Palace, a little baby was crawling on the carpet in the main hall, babbling and screaming non-stop.
"Brother Hong, call me Concubine Mu... call me Concubine Mu!"
The little baby was crawling on the ground, being looked after by three maids, playing with it and teaching and talking at the same time.
Although the three of them are responsible for taking care of her full-time, they also have the job of teaching how to speak.
"Mother concubine..."
As soon as Zhao Weihong called out the word "mother concubine", the maid who was lying on the ground to teach him how to speak quickly praised: "Brother Hong is so smart!"
Zhao Weihong is ten months old. He called out the word "mother concubine" seven or eight days ago, and even asked the maid who taught him how to speak to be heavily rewarded.
"Brother Hong, call me Father...Father!"
"Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
"Father..."
"Giggle...haha..."
The children on the ground did not learn at all, which gave the teaching maid a great headache. She had been teaching for four or five days.
"Brother Hong, call me Father...Father...Wang!"
A maid on the side said: "Don't waste your efforts. Scholars say haste makes waste, so just wait a few more days!"
"Father..."
The three maids present were stunned when the two words uttered by the little baby on the ground were heard, and then they felt extremely ecstatic.
"Father..." Another maid lay down and taught the child on the ground again.
The little baby sat on the ground and clapped his hands and said, "Father...King..."
"Hong Ge'er is so smart!" The maid quickly picked up Zhao Weihong.
"Let's go and tell the Queen the good news!"
"Yes, yes, yes, go report the good news to the empress!"
For them, this is indeed something worth reporting.
After saying that, the three of them took Zhao Weihong and walked out of the palace gate because Xue Baojun was not in Yongfu Palace.
At this moment, Xue Baojun was sitting in Feiyuxuan. She was visiting Lin Jingyu who had given birth to a child.
Lin Jingyu passed the test of giving birth easily, but she was extremely weak after giving birth and was currently sitting on the bed.
Although she has always had a cold relationship with Feiyuxuan, as the princess, Xue Baoyun also has the responsibility to appease the harem.
Lin Jingyu was working hard for the palace, so she naturally had to pay more attention to her, otherwise it would be inevitable for someone to gossip behind her back.
"There are frequent good news on the front line. Maybe in a month or two, the prince will be able to take over the capital. Then you will be able to see the prince!"
After serving the soup for Lin Jingyu, Xue Baojun said with a smile: "So... you have to take good care of your health, so as not to make the prince feel distressed!"
Although she still had no appetite, Lin Jingyu took the soup because she had to give Xue Baojun face.
Taking the spoon and stirring it casually, Lin Jingyu said with a smile: "Concubine, congratulations to sister!"
"Why do you want to congratulate me?" Xue Baoyun asked.
"Sister, you are about to become a queen, and your mother will be the queen of the world... Isn't this worthy of congratulations!"
Good guy, these words touched Xue Baoyun's heart, making it sweeter than honey.
Although the slaves in Yongfu Palace were complimenting her all day long about becoming a queen, the feeling from Lin Jingyu's mouth was completely different.
But Xue Baoyun immediately said: "Sister, don't dare to say this nonsense. Thunder and rain are not God's grace. This matter must be decided by the prince!"
The word "Qin Ding" is reserved exclusively for the emperor, which shows that the arrogance in the Prince Yong's palace has occurred in all aspects.
Xue Baoyun was just about to say a few more humble words when he heard a voice coming from outside: "Princess, I'm so happy... so happy!"
After a while, three maids from Yongfu Palace came to Lin Jingyu's bedroom.
Seeing the maid bringing his son over, Xue Baoyun asked, "What's the happy event?"
The maid in the middle replied: "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the king will call himself father!"
